In a nutshell...

Originalmente soy Colombiana. In 1992, however, my family moved to the US to reside in Atlanta, Georgia, where I graduated from Georgia Tech in 2003 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD, also in MechE, from UC Berkeley.

Interests

My interest range over a wide array of areas. I'm always getting into new things and are willing to try just about anything once. A number of topics, however, have survived over the years. These include traveling, long distance running, kickboxing, and anything Japanese.
